Just to make sure, you were obviously filming this with some kind of hands-free device, yes?

The device is technically handheld but clipped onto a self made chest mount I used to use for skydiving but not happy with the movement. May be looking for an gopro and bracket for the roll bar.

Ermm.. they were between where I was and home. I guess I could have drove away from them and see where I ended up?

Yep.. had a helmet on and a lovely warm quilted down jacket on.. well warm until the filling absorbed all the water. The trick with the viz in the helmet was to drive fast enough to keep it clear but slow enough not to sliiiiiidddee!!! Oh.. and not to breath too much haha

Unlucky dude....... Been sunny all day here in Suffolk. Car won't be back on the road till April, so makes no odds to me. I like the vid though Lol.........

i actually did wonder if you were out yesterday when it started, i was right.
I got caught out in the hale one with no helmet on, that stings your face a little bit.

Try falling through hailstone for 60 seconds at 120mph.. then you know the meaning of stinging.. OUCH!! you get down looking a mess. See aphoto of last time I jumped in hailstone Photo
